What I still covet is a 16" or larger Crescent or similar old jointer;...

_Just_KNEW_ shouldn't have mentioned that; that got me to drooling again...

I asked for a quote; we'll see what they say...

When you see 3 belts driving a cutterhead, something serious is about

The SIZE of that beast!
So... they're going to ship it UPS?

Yeah, they'll just load the UPS truck on the semi, no problem...

*From FL out here will have to enter in to the picture for sure. *I
bought a JLG 40H 40-ft boom manlift the year came back to the farm owing
to needing the reroof job on it and the house plus several other high
jobs could see including trees. *Broker was in FL while machine outside
Chicago--he had arrangement w/ private trucking and guaranteed it for
$600--ended up costing $800 but he kept his bargain. *It weighed about
12k lb and took up most of the load; if they can find shared load one of
these is probably about 2000lb and doesn't take up much space so
shouldn't be _too_ bad but it's been a while since I've shipped
something sizable; fuel surcharges have to be a factor.

I've not heard on this one; they sent a $3500 quote for a 12" Crescent
w/ a "make an offer" disclaimer. *I'm sure I'll manage to fight off the
urge, but it's a temptation, sure...

BTW, they've a nice-looking 16" General up north closer to you; somebody
has even retrofitted it for single-phase...

That'll prep some stock for the carver...
